Heading to the heat

From this..... To this...

Well, alright, not quite this cold or snow covered ground, yet. But after today's chilly-er weather, its a good predictor of the winter thats to come.

So, Zach, Cam, my Mom (who flew in from England today) and I are heading to Phoenix tomorrow to spend some time together. My sister and kids are coming this weekend and then Mark comes in on Tuesday. I am looking forward to the time away with my family and some fun in the sun. Later!

global warming anyone?

Whats wrong with this picture?

And no, I'm not referring to Zach's long hair, I know he's way overdue for a haircut.

I'm talking about painting pumpkins in the 2nd week in October, on the front stoop, without a shirt on, in 85 degree weather... its just unbelievable!

And finally... our weekend away

We had a fantastic weekend away at Kohler, while Mark's parents took care of the boys.

The weather was beautiful so Mark was able to enjoy 2 full days of golfing. On Friday he golfed at Whistling Straights, where the course runs right along Lake Michigan. I guess the course is amazing and quite an experience as you have to walk 18 holes and have a caddy! so fancy!

I, on the other hand, enjoyed a full day at the Spa on Saturday. Where I had several appointments, including a 'hot stone massage' and a 'body wrap'. Both were unbelievable.

The boys had a great time at Nana and Grandpa's and I think they didn't miss us a bit. I missed them though, but after an hour of being back together, it felt like we were never apart. Doesn't it always work that way?

Feeding time at the zoo?

I was in the middle of blogging about our absolutely fantastic, fancy, relaxing, and romantic weekend away at the Kohler resort when I was called upstairs by Zachary to see this....

Yes, I know, just when you think you have seen and experienced it all...
I will spare you from more details, as they really NOT necessary.

Since I can't get over the disgusting factor of this, I will have to recoup overnight and start a fresh blog tomorrow with pictures of our weekend.

For now all I have to say is, GROSS!!!!

love for the 'Bumbo'

I swore that we wouldn't 'need' any new baby stuff for #2, especially if it was a boy. Well, a generous friend gave us the hyped up 'Bumbo' chair and right now Cameron can't get enough of it. And I absolutely love it too. He just sits in it and hangs out. Not to mention I can just plop him next to me on the table, so I can continue to feed my internet habit! Bad Mommy, I know...

mix of Monday blues

It definitely feels like a Monday. Today we have a mix of the Monday blues around here...

Relief that its Monday, as Zach is FINALLY feeling better after a very long week/weekend and is able to go back to school today. I think I was about 10 minutes early to drop him off today, as I was anxious to get him back into the swing of things. We both seem to do better with structure and routine.

But as expected, Cameron became sick yesterday. He is now fighting a fever and a beautiful wheezing/hacking cough. Those of you with more then one child, know this scenario all too well. Its inevitable that it passes from one to the other. So unfortunately it will probably be another long week and I am saying many, many prayers that both boys are healthy by the end of the week.

This weekend Mark and I have our fancy weekend away at the Kohler resort in Wisconsin and we are leaving them with Mark's parents. I will feel horrible if one or both of them are still up in the night battling this thing! But one thing I do know, is that I'm not cancelling. I (we) need a weekend away more then ever....
